Dark as a Dungeon Songtext
von Mountain City Four

Still sings old songs, I still sings them very, very well

C′mon, you young fellow, so brave and so sound
Come seek not your fortune way down in the mine
It will form as a habit, it will sleep in your soul
'Til the stream of your blood runs as black as a hole

It′s dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine


There's many a-youth I have known in my days
Who has left mum to labour his whole life away
Like a feet with his dope paws, a drunkard is lying
A man will have lust for the lure of the mine

It′s dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It′s dark as a dungeon way down in the mine

Hate crime, antagonize it

Now I hope when I die and the ages shall rule
My body will blacken as vermin roam
As I sit and I gaze from my Heavenly home
I will pity the miner digging my bone


It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It′s dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
